EDIT: I talked to a member of the band over Facebook, and he said that the album should be put up online in mp3 format for download sometime soon.
I'mma see if I can't get an interview with him for the blog, because it sounds like he has a really interesting story about how the album was made, and the band in general.
These guys need to market their band together. Fifteen minutes of searching really brought up next to nothing on these guys, and despite being one of the most kickass cybergrind bands of all time, they have like 50 likes on their Facebook page.
First of all, if you like melodies, and song structures, you might want to go somewhere else. Not entirely fair, as some of the songs on this album rely pretty heavily on pretty melodies, but these guys are obvious subscribers to "FUCK YOU AND YOUR FACE" magazine. Just the way I like it.
The production is amazing for a band of this genre. Seriously, I can't think of a band out of any genre that has production like this(Except for maybe some of the bigger metal titans, but seriously). Lots of awesome little audio-candies are in the songs as well. 8-bit keys, awesome use of a drum machine, the vocal presentation, this album is a masterpiece of production.
The actual music? Forget it and go home. These guys are just too good. Every riff of theirs seems to be the craziest, heaviest guitar part I've ever heard. The vocals? My favorite. A desperate kind of screeching that can be interpreted as super serious, or super nonsensical.
Songs drift between absolute spazz-grind and epic funky breakdowns, in perfect balance. If you want to make a cybercorenintendogrindwhatever album, listen to this album to hear what your song structure should be like. These guys just knock it out of the park.
Basically? I could go on for a while on these guys. At the end of the day, they're amazing, and one of my favorite bands. They really need to step up the way they're promoting themselves however. I expect great things from these guys.

I know there are other download links out there somewhere, as I have this album, and it's not in the iTunes purchased music format, whatever that is. I can't find anything besides the iTunes link though. At least listen to the Soundcloud, you guys.
